I wasn’t intending to make these cute little Roulades or Beef Olives, but Costco started selling Boneless Short Rib and I just couldn’t resist! I spiced them up and rolled them up with Potato and Carrots.
This was then seared and cooked in a delicious spicy curry!

Goan beef roulades—often called “Beef Olives” or Goan Beef Rolls—are thin slices of beef rolled around a spiced filling, braised in a rich, tangy gravy. This dish blends Portuguese technique with Goan masalas and is often made for festive occasions or Sunday meals.
